Sagoo

I dislike the Sagoo served in hotels, so far in all of the places that I've tried. The proportion of spices they use is not pleasing to (my) taste buds, so I leave it untouched or even return it. The recipe used to prepare at home is entirely different in its taste from what is served in hotels.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Coconut - shredded or pieces
1 small onion
4-5 Green chillies
1/2 tsp Cumin seeds/Jeera
1 tbsp roasted chana
1 inch Cinnamon stick
3-4 Cloves/Laung
A handful of Coriander leaves
1 cup green beans - diced
1 cup carrot - diced
1 cup potatoes - diced
1 cup green peas
1 tsp ghee (for tadka/seasoning)
Salt

Preparation time: 15-20 minutes

Preparation:
  • Boil/steam all the vegetables adding salt.
  • Grind coconut, onion, green chillies, cinnamon stick, cloves, roasted chana, salt and jeera to paste.
  • Take out the boiled vegetables to a container, add the paste and cook for a couple of minutes (Add water if required & bring it to boil)
  • For seasoning - heat ghee, add jeera and let it splutter. Add the seasoning to Sagoo.

Serve with Set Dosa or Roti/Parathas or Pooris. Twitter Facebook Delicious Stumble Digg It! Technorati

I am left with no other option :) Mom and Dad are in Chaitra's place in USA. I can go to hotels and have my food there but I prefer cooking... I enjoy it and it is healthy too :)

Yeah, everyday hotel food can get boring and unhealthy too. Cooking is a nice option. A few of my bachelor friends do the same.

Oh, this sagu looks exactly like how my mom's sagu looks. Guess it tastes the same too. Will definitely try it out :)
